Introduction Video K-6

We are called to go out in the world to serve others and share our faith with them. We have a responsibility to God, ourselves, and to others.

Part of helping ourselves and others is taking care of our bodies and respecting other people’s bodies. We are made in the image and likeness of God (Gen.1:26). We should treat every body as the image of God. We should exercise, eat enough but not too much, and eat healthily.
